Thanks JH9. Top person
Like every other post on here. Just wait.Tomorrow is 4 weeks after I received my ‘we’ll be in touch in 2 to 4 weeks’ email. Not looking very likely now! But we can live in hope
I am waiting, pardon me for simply commenting that it was the 4 week date.Like every other post on here. Just wait.
They were pretty quick last year. Was 2 weeks to the day that we got the online tests! Must have loads to go through this time!I am waiting, pardon me for simply commenting that it was the 4 week date.
I think they’re working from home too which probably complicates things.They were pretty quick last year. Was 2 weeks to the day that we got the online tests! Must have loads to go through this time!
Totally agree railway recruitment is unlike any other and patience becomes the norm, you get used to timescales slipping etc. I never thought they would actually be able to meet their aspirational start dates of May and a June when you consider the backlog from other recruitment drives, the vast number of new applicants and the ongoing challenge of COVID. I have confidence things will happen eventually but I am not expecting it to be quick.Just to put my thoughts into this. I had an interview with XC on Thursday for the Qualified Driver, Birmingham role they advertised just before putting the trainee roles up. So things are moving and it really is a waiting game, patience is a virtue.
The main recruitment person is indeed working from home and bare in mind no doubt thousands of people will have applied for the trainee roles.
YepI don’t understand the question you were asked. Were they asking you which of the stakeholders you can be held accountable by?
Yes I failed the interview...I could relate plenty to train driver and did...regards safety,long hours,adhering to specific instructions etc passed that with flying colours...it was a couple of the other questions that were a bit left field that I couldn’t use my HGV experience or didn’t relate to train driver role enough that I didn’t pass on.You couldn’t relate anything from being a HGV driver to being a train driver?
Like adhering to traffic law? Being under pressure to deliver on time without breaking said traffic laws? Ever been held up in traffic and had to change plans?....
You failed your interview right?
And as for the Stakeholder thing, it’s a perfectly reasonable question. Would Network rail not be a Stakeholder that could be affected by your performance?
Hi Glawsrfc,Yep

My application changed today from application in process to “end of process” I haven’t had an email to make me aware, I understand that I haven’t made it any further but does anyone know how I am able to get some feedback?
Regards
still showing in process on mine
No pal, you only lose a life if you take and fail your psychometrics.also is one of my two lives gone?
Your 'lives' are only used if you fail any psychometric testing.yes a friends application says the same so I know mine has ended, I just wondered why... so I was hoping to get some feedback. Even though they are snowed under

You can apply for as many jobs as you like, the two lives is only for the psychometric testing and mmi.yes a friends application says the same so I know mine has ended, I just wondered why... so I was hoping to get some feedback. Even though they are snowed under

I’m not sure you’ll get feed back from such an early stage, i might be wrong though..My application changed today from application in process to “end of process” I haven’t had an email to make me aware, I understand that I haven’t made it any further but does anyone know how I am able to get some feedback?

It could be anything and it is extremely unlikely that you'll get any form of feedback.it would be good to know if I’ve been dismissed due to distance from the station for example. As there wouldn’t be any point in me applying again.
I’m hopeful it’s something simple as
I’m not really sure at this stage why I wouldn’t progress any further.
Will try to remember all the questions and update sometime this weekHi Glawsrfc,
I hope you don't mind a couple of additional questions, I know you've had a few!
- For the stakeholder Q, were they referring to stakeholders you are accountable to in your current job, or stakeholders you 'would' be accountable to as a TD?
- You mention there were a couple of questions that were a bit left field. Would you feel comfortable sharing these? Absolutely no problem if not, there is no obligation to help the rest of us out of course
Cheers!
I can’t even log in to the website to see if I’m still in processit would be good to know if I’ve been dismissed due to distance from the station for example. As there wouldn’t be any point in me applying again.

Yes, same here. There’s still hope.Just logged in to mine and I’m still showing “in process”
Time will tell but I doubt the lack of a covering letter will make much of a difference. Good luck!Same for me, I'm still in progress. Think it might be because I only sent my application on the Closing day and there's a lot to get through.
However my I pad didn't show me the "attach covering letter" option so I only sent my CV, therefore, after reading this thread, I'm not expecting a positive outcome.
I passed everything for Commercial Guard with SWR over a year ago and was waiting for a start date before COVID reared is ugly head so at least I've got something to look forward too, but have been told it is very unlikely I will start this year. GLOOM
